Amid the ongoing protest in United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the protest and stated that 'this is not a protest it is organised violent thuggery.' Violence broke out in several UK cities on Saturday, following a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga class for elementary school-aged girls. The incident sparked widespread unrest and riots in multiple cities, which were fueled by far-right groups.
After the incident, Starmer shared a post on X and wrote, "I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend. Be in no doubt: those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law." In his video message on X, he issued a stern warning to those involved in the recent violence and riots and emphasized that the full force of the law would be brought to bear on individuals who participated in the violence, whether directly or indirectly.
